As long as these new cards are not able to properly play 4k there is no bottlenecking in the memory department. Neither Titan or 390X will be able to play current games on 4k60 so at least for me it's not worth it to increase the resolution just yet. Which means I will not run into any bottlenecks, not even with Titan's 384Bit interface.

I'm eagerly awaiting benches. While it's quite possible that the 390X may be able to beat the Titan I'm thinking the Titan might edge it out by 5-10%. And if that's the case there is no other option than to take the Titan. Pascal won't be here anytime soon anyway, and why not take the most mature chip of its generation. Usually that's always a good pick as opposed to the very first generation of a new process. Gonna be even more fun to switch to the more matured version of next gen's technology :)

Or to sum it up, there really is no bad time to buy hardware. You buy it when you need it. If you wait for better technology you will wait forever. I waited now for 3 years to finally get rid of my 680.

Aren't you a exagerating a little bit?

Ever since the first rumors of the 390X started to appear, the supposed performance of that card was 30-40% more than that of the 980, which would put it on the same ballpark as the Titan X. And even if at the end of the day it ends up being 5-10% slower than the Nvidia card, it will likely be a lot more cheaper than it, making it a more sensible purchase.

But of course, if money is not a problem then the Titan X will be the way to go.

 

By the way, AMD brought their Fiji XT card to GDC and used it to power the Showdown demo on the Oculus Rift, but they didn't gave any tech details.

Of course I'm talking from the point of view of an enthusiast. In those price regions performance is the only thing that matters.

And I doubt the 390X will outperform the 980 by 30-40%. It's more likely it will do that in relation to the 290X.

It's fun to speculate but I do need some benches soon. There's still a chance that I will go with the 390X to help me over until Big Pascal arrives.
